: 0.084s Scan: 0.046sThe rednecks were shocked to hear Francis’ words.
The young man’s words had already shaken their confidence, and hearing Francis say this, their confidence was hit even harder, which made them a little pessimistic about the prospects of this war!
“”After Louisiana fell, it should be our turn next, right?”
A redneck said worriedly.
This sentence made all the rednecks silent!
The war will soon spread to the hometown where their ancestors have lived for generations, and all the rednecks dare not imagine what kind of damage their hometown will suffer in the places affected by the war!
“Can we defend it?”
Finally, someone asked a question worriedly, which immediately caused everyone to think.
Yes, can they protect their hometown?
“Otherwise, we might as well join the Hans. After all, Texas is originally a country. The Eagles themselves flee on the battlefield, so there is no need for us to work for them!”
Just when everyone’s hearts began to waver, a timid redneck in the corner who felt that he had little chance of winning against the Germans said in a low voice.
This sentence was like a stone thrown into the water, which caused a thousand waves and immediately caused a backlash from everyone!
“Bullshit, we have guns in our hands, why should we surrender?”
“That is, surrender is something only Gauls do. Do you think we are Gauls?”
“But after the Gauls surrendered, didn’t they live a pretty good life? If we continue to resist, we may end up like the British Empire!”
The man in the corner actually dared to talk back, but what he said seemed to make some sense.
Surrendering can get a good result, while resisting to the end will lead to a dead end. From this point of view, it seems that surrendering early is not a bad thing!
If they surrender now, the war will most likely not burn to the mainland of Texas. In that case, the threat of their hometown being destroyed by the war will be much smaller, and their parents, wives, children, relatives and friends will not be affected by the war. They have a great hope of surviving!
So, after the man in the corner finished speaking, everyone began to think!
They used to be an independent country. They are different from the other 49 states in the United States. They joined the federation in the form of a country, so they are the most special one!
Since they were able to form a country in the form of a country, why can’t they separate from the federation in the form of a country now, and then live their own lives and go their own way?
“Humph, have you forgotten how those guys in the North treated us when the South was independent years ago, and how Grant and others treated us!
During the Civil War, the fighting on the battlefields of both sides was extremely fierce, and the war caused millions of casualties. After the killing of the red-eyed Northern Army, Grant led the army down the Mississippi River and killed all the way to the rear of the Southern Army, where they burned, killed, and looted, creating many horrific massacres and tragedies!
Although these histories will not be written into textbooks by the federal government, in the places in the South that have suffered from the flames of war, the local people will not forget the atrocities of the Northern federal government against them in this war decades ago!
Moreover, when the Eagle Sauce was independent, the states joined the federation. Since they could join, they could naturally withdraw from the federation, but the federal government in the North regarded them as rebellious and had to eliminate them, which triggered such a fierce Eagle Sauce Civil War!
In the eyes of the people in the southern states, this war was provoked by the northern federal government. They were invaders and the South was the victim of the invasion. As a result, they not only lost the war and lost their country, but were also massacred and robbed by the Yankees. They have been holding this breath in their hearts!
No one usually mentions this matter, but it does not mean that this matter does not exist. It has always been there, and it is just a match away from igniting this powder keg!
Seeing that everyone’s hatred is about to shift from the Hans to the northern federal government, Anthony, the leader of the Texas rednecks, slammed the table heavily and said sternly:”Okay, don’t talk about this matter anymore. The top priority now is to do a good job of defense. Even if the German army has not attacked yet, we can’t take it lightly. We must be fully prepared. Otherwise, once the war comes, if we prepare again, I’m afraid it will be too late!”
Anthony’s words are still very influential among the rednecks. After all, he is the great-grandson of General Robert Lee, the leader of the Southern Army during the Civil War.
Although the Southern Army was defeated, General Robert Lee’s status in the hearts of the people in the Southern states is still high, and the people of the states regard him as a hero.
After all, in the Civil War, the Southern Army was at a disadvantage in terms of manpower and equipment, and lacked a strong industrial system like the North to support the war.
Under such unfavorable circumstances, the Southern Army was able to win successive victories on the battlefield in the early stages of the war, and struggled to hold on until the fall of the Southern capital before surrendering. This is already quite remarkable!
In later history, scholars and military strategists from various countries called him, Napoleon, Rommel and others as famous generals who were good at fighting the majority with the minority. From this evaluation, we can see his ability!
“No matter we can protect it or not, we have to fight!”
“Otherwise, how can we guarantee our future status?”As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted!
Anthony was right.
If they surrendered without fighting, the Hans might not look up to them.
They might think that they were a group of spineless people with no ability, so they would not reuse them, but would look down on them.
In that case, even if they surrendered, they would not get any benefits!
If they want to surrender, they must at least fight hard on the battlefield to let the German army see their strength and let the German army retreat.
In this way, they can get more in the negotiations.
, that way they can only be reused by Hans if they surrender to Hans!
Moreover, Anthony has another idea in his mind that he did not say clearly!
Although he has already wanted to surrender, after all, Hans is too powerful and difficult to resist, and they can’t stop the German army by themselves!
However, this idea may not be recognized by everyone, and there must be many people who do not recognize the situation and are unwilling to go with the flow.
In this case, they must fight the German army and let all the rednecks feel the power of the German army. In this way, when he proposes surrender again, the internal resistance will be much smaller!
“Great-grandfather, great-grandson will complete your unfulfilled wish!”
